Cartoon Yahtzee – Why Does One Go Viral?

The past month has seen a number of editorial cartoons showing
Lady Justice being assaulted by The Ruling Party.

But one from Canada “went viral.”

Bruce MacKinnon’s cartoon shows a blindfolded Lady Justice being held down on a bed by Republican hands with her mouth covered.

The cartoon has received passionate responses on social media. Some believe it’s a powerful image that accurate skewers the GOP for its continued support of alleged sexual abusers. While others see it as a disturbing image that’s far too intense to be published.
